📰 News we're reading

• Pins fall as confidence grows at Special Olympics bowling event in Craig (craigdailypress.com) — Special Olympics athletes from across northwest Colorado packed Thunder Rolls in Craig for a regional bowling tournament that showcased local athletes' skills and growing confidence. With Craig teams, volunteers, and police pitching in, organizers now hope to expand Special Olympics offerings in town, including possible basketball and dance programs that would give more local youth and adults year-round opportunities.
   

• Colorado's largest wildlife overpass cut I-25 collisions by 91 percent (optimistdaily.com) — Colorado's new wildlife overpass on I-25 has slashed animal-vehicle collisions and is helping elk, pronghorn, and smaller species cross safely, proving these projects can pay for themselves. That success matters in Craig because CDOT now lists US-40 near town as a priority corridor for future wildlife crossings, which could eventually improve safety and reduce crashes for local drivers.
